Why not celebrate the joy of walking? It’s time to breathe in the crisp autumn air and head into the great outdoors. Today’s image features the Trail of the Cedars, part of a network of around 1,125 kilometres of hiking trails in Glacier National Park, Montana. Its 1.4-kilometre loop includes a raised boardwalk that winds through western red cedars and hemlock trees. The park offers routes for all abilities, taking in alpine lakes, wildflower meadows, mountain passes and vast wilderness stretching to the Canadian border.
But you don’t need spectacular scenery on your doorstep to enjoy the benefits of getting outdoors. A short stroll along a tree-lined street is an easy way to enjoy some fresh air and make the most of the autumn colours as the days draw in.
